Rick Redington & The Luv

Bio:

A two piece rhythm section consisting of Heather Lynne on Upright and Electric Basses and Blake Gowan on Drums and various Percussion devices create the infectious pulse of what has ripened into Rick Redington's band, The Luv, whose soon to be released debut album, "The Circus", will feature recordings with members of The New Riders of The Purple Sage.

MTV writer, director and founder of New York Aids Film Festival and President of Girl Behind The Camera, Suzanne Africa Engo, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzanne_Engo adds, "My favorite Folk-Abilly-Rasta-Jam-Rock band in the world is headed by the one and only RICK REDINGTON, his music touches my soul, and lives in my hair... I am taken to a new place every single time I hear him open his lovely mouth to sing. I adore him and that band of his is world class. LUV!LUV!"

The band rolls in a 1970 Flxible Tour Bus, driven by R.R himself. www.myspace.com/theluvbus, through the deep freezing climates of the Northeast Kingdom near the Canadian border, down to the rolling hills of Virginia, whether its in an intimate coffeehouse setting , a TV appearance, or beneath a festival's lights, a live video shoot from NYC's Greenwich Village, to Vassar College's most progressive Radio Station, the trio lures its crowd with sweet sounds of Americana and Roots Rock Rhythms designed to pump your blood & rock your soul.

With the recent economic downturn, RR & a few friends have unveiled a passion for designing & building Cigar Box Guitars whose history dates back before even The Great Depression, & crowds are taken in by the lowdown delta sound.

Gowan plays Cajon, Djembe, Shakers, and most recently a Jamaican license plate Stomp Box by Vt Mojo Box.www.vtmojobox.com
Miss Lynne plays a traditional Upright Bass, a solid body Upright Bass and recently a Cigar Box Bass by Bubbas Smokin’ Guitars. www.bubbasmokinguitars.com
RR plays his own lap slide guitar, www.vtmojobox.com, ukelele, mandolin by Lil Scrappy www.lilscrapyard.com, and yes even an electric guitar also by Bubba, www.bubbasmokinguitars.com

Crashing waves from Vermont to Jamaica up to the Bajou via Chicago, peaking through San Fran back through Texas and don't forget the Jimi train along the way!

When we “Get On The Bus” we aint stopping till EVERYBODY HAS a good time!

As Frank Zappa once said “Don’t Make a fuss….Just get on THE BUS”!

Look for the Silver Flxible Luv Bus carrying The Luv to your town soon.
